We walked around Nashville briefly following our concert and traveled past Vanderbilt University. Gorgeous campus with well groomed grounds and amazing architecture. We just happened to catch what appeared to be a full moon, which was lovely. read more

I didn't get my pretzel very quickly at the volleyball game and it made me lose time to watch the game! I want my money back!!

What a beautiful campus! There are lots of old brick and stone buildings with pretty architecture. I mostly saw the athletics area during my tour, since I have a family member who works there. They have a really modern, sleek facility. I'm so glad I was able to see it. read more

My daughter took me on a tour of this beautiful campus. Marvelling at the historical Harry Potter-like buildings and structures, it's nearly impossible to truly see all 340 acres of this amazing arboretum....but we gave it our best effort! She took me inside the School of Nursing where she spends most of her time. I admired all the displays and pictures showcasing the wonderful work and people from this institution. My daughter spoke highly of her professors and their dedication to each student's success. They are always available to provide support when needed, to safeguard her academic and emotional well-being. It gave me comfort knowing that she is so cared for. The experience filled me with great pride knowing she will become an alumni of this prestigious university. read more

I am well passed my college days, but our hotel was a 5 minute walk away from Vanderbilt. It was a beautiful day so we decided to walk by and explore the campus to kill some time. The campus is absolutely stunning and beautiful and surrounded by greenery. I was not expecting it to have this much of a fantastic atmosphere. There are so many plants and trees near you that you feel like you're walking through a park when you make your way through campus. Makes me think I should have considered Vanderbilt for college! read more

Maddie is absolutely Awesome I had an outstanding experience when I called in for assistance. Maddie was absolutely awesome--she was there every step of the way, offering incredible support. I can't emphasize enough how good the assistance was; she truly went above and beyond. Maddie is top-notch, and her professionalism and dedication are second to none. If you need help at Vanderbilt University, rest assured you'll receive the best possible assistance. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! read more

Summary: This school is super awesome - unless you are bored, there is no need to read the following completely biased review by an alum who is infatuated with the school. Vanderbilt has been a wonderful school for me as a student and as an alum. I make a point to serve on an industry panel and talk to students to help as Vanderbilt helped me financially to graduate without debt and professionally to collaborate on many cool projects. Vanderbilt believes in the mission to educate without student loans by assisting any way they can. My nephew and niece both graduated without debt as well. Professors are tough notch. Yeah, there are a few exceptions but overall the school cares about the quality education for the students, and professors are available and willing to help. We rarely have a good football team, and I'm proud that we don't follow the model of chasing money in athletics. I like Vanderbilt as an academic institution. Besides we are pretty good at tennis, golf, baseball and bowling, I hear. The expansion of school made the campus to be scattered about in Nashville, but overall it is a pretty campus. Since my graduation, the buildings have been upgraded. When I was there, bathrooms smelled like it...and I was ok with it. Buildings look old and smelled it too. And I liked that too. Now many buildings are modern and clean. I like it ok, but I miss the old quaint feel of a classic American institution. If you want a small school feel with top academic reputation, diversity, and cool college experience, I recommend Vanderbilt! read more

Historical beautiful campus. Felt a little Harry Potteresque with the manicured green grass, mature trees, stone architecture, brick offices and clean walkways. There are more modern basic buildings and surrounding road/dorm construction, but nothing that will deny you access. read more

We came here as tourists, not students or faculty, to check out the area. My traveling companion is very impressed with things collegiate, so we decided to step into these grounds. We entered through West End Avenue and parked. Cornelius was there to welcome us. It was exciting to see him. We walked around, imbibing in the sophisticated thought, and transported ourselves to the past. The buildings definitively improve the proper use of your imagination. I found interesting that the Psychological Sciences Building has designs that remind me of the Freemasons, but it is all in perfect accord. We enjoyed our time here. read more

Vanderbilt University is right next to the Parthenon. We drove a few blocks and then parked and walked.This is a beautiful campus, but not as nice as our alma mater, UF. The campus is dominated by the university's medical facilities. They are fairly modern buildings. We had a great post Thanksgiving walk and were on our way to the huge park we were originally looking for. read more

Not that impressive. The kids who go here are pretty bland and not looking to have much fun.

Took a tour here for our child who is starting to look at colleges. Have always loved Vandy and thought highly of it. The campus is very pretty and staff were friendly. It was nice to walk campus with a guide taking a peek into residence hall, dining hall, etc. Unfortunately Vandy has fallen prey to the woke culture. They spent a LOT of time really focusing on their 1st slide of the presentation, strongly emphasizing how committed they are to equity, LGBTQ, BLM, etc. It wasn't that they value diversity and inclusion. It was a huge helping of identity politics that continued beyond slide 1, being reinforced multiple times through the presentation as well as along the tour. The LGBTQ flag was in the window leading up to the meeting, hanging in the residence hall, & regularly displayed around campus. Doesn't matter to me what someone's sexual preference may be, but I want to pick a university based on their educational quality and that seemed to take a back seat in the discussions. On a side note, the flags were the old version rather than the newer one so makes me wonder if this isn't all just an effort at virtue signaling. Not saying Vandy is out, but it's a shame to see their focus shift so significantly. read more

Beautiful campus and a top notch university located in a great city. Honestly what more could you ask for. Easy to get lost as all the buildings look the same. Asked security for directions and they happily provided them. Campus is open if you want to walk around and bask in the beauty of its surroundings. I recommend it. read more

You should be aware that the Office of student accounts will not speak to a parent or student on the phone, is not available by email and will not explain any bills (75K +/year) because they have "thousands of accounts" and "have internal and external audits. Maybe they are so busy with the audits that they can't explain a bill. They are always, however, willing to take your money, just won't tell you what it is for. If you don't pay in full there are high monthly fees. They don't tell you that there are payment plans because most of the students who attend are wealthy. I've never seen a school that was so secretive about charges. I would urge you to consider a school that is more transparent in its charges and willing to speak to students and parents for even 5 minutes to explain charges. read more

Beautiful campus and the tour was very thorough. Interesting to see since a "green" campus with an amazing amount of trees. Tour guides did a great job of answering everyone's questions and getting us around. read more

Located in Nashville, Tennessee, Vanderbilt University is one of America's most elite higher education institutions. With slightly under 7,000 undergraduates and an acceptance rate hovering around 11%, some of the smartest minds across the world flock to Vanderbilt for a wonderful education. I find it repulsive that anyone would give this University anything less than a five star rating. There are few faults, if any, that I can find wrong with this wonderful place. The campus is beautifully manicured whenever I have visited, and the staff and students alike are so welcoming. There is a lot of construction going on, and as someone who works in commercial real estate, I love it! Vanderbilt will continue to nurture amazing talent both in the classroom and on the athletic fields. The students are some of the happiest out of any university, according to Princeton Review. Even, the cafeteria food is great! One thing I will say is that Memorial Gymnasium either needs air-conditioning or to be torn down! read more

I graduated from Vandy in 2014 and have gone back at least twice a year for the last three years. I love love loved this place. The students were phenomenal, the staff were great, the campus is gorgeous. Our cafeterias are consistently ranked as top in the nation. No one goes to yelp for a university review, but I promise you have a fan here. If you're ever in town in late March/early April I recommend checking out InVUsion hosted by the Multicultural Leadership Council. It's a huge cultural showcase on alumni lawn that features performances, free food, and diy activities from the multicultural orgs on campus - all FREE read more

I have been to Vanderbilt university a lot. I tend to visit 2 times a year. I have spoken at vandy. Also have been here just for a visit. Vanderbilt university is located in Nashville TN in the heart of the city. There is a lot of really great eateries with in walking distance. There are a lot of good looking girls at this school. For a more prestigious school I'm shocked at the girls. The frats and sororities are nice and welcoming. The campus is really nice to just walk around. Being from NY I would say vandy reminds me of Yale or NYU education wise more prestigious. read more

This is a beautiful university located only 1.5 from downtown Nashville. From downtown, the walk cuts across the midtown area that has a unique cross section of local bars and restaurants. I love that there are neighboring bars called Winners and Losers on the way. The campus was lush and green, a luxury compared to where I've lived in CA, CO, and TX. The students all seemed very friendly and weren't shy offering their help so I could find the building I was looking for. I came to the school as a prospective student and toured the geology department. They are grouped in with environmental studies. They have some great lab space located in the basement and professors that are passionate about their field. read more

I am just visiting, but should admit very surprised and impressed with Vanderbilt University facilities, labs, and hospital. It is a cultural shock for me to see how nice are people here, super positive experience, loved it! read more

Awesome school, can't lie to you. Been an amazing 4 years: great campus, great food, great staff.

Nice staff, atrociously late for our appointment. We were there for an ultrasound at 10:40. They asked us to check In 20 minutes early so we did. Over an hour later we checked to make sure we got checked in. Then they brought us to another waiting room where we waited an additional hour. They didn't take my wife's BP, height or weight. We had a separate appointment at 1:00 PM over the phone where we checked in 10 minutes early as requested. Again, the staff signed into the appointment almost ten minutes late. Nice people and we assume they are busy, with that being said, we wished there was more care for the appointment times they set. read more

Great campus, fun tours, a world of opportunity.... But could use some more degree choices. Other than that, I love it

I love this university. I have always been a huge Vanderbilt fan. I love going to sporting events at Vanderbilt either at Hawkins Field, Memorial Gym or Vanderbilt Stadium. Vanderbilt is the Harvard of the SEC. Being the best academic school in the SEC is great but you get to see all the amazing other SEC athletic programs. SEC baseball and SEC football is the best conference in the land. The students at this university are pretty friendly and outgoing unlike most elite schools. I love Vanderbilt's campus in the Fall, its an amazing place to be. If you are a good student in HS or just visiting Nashville. Check this campus out its awesome. GO VANDY. read more

We stopped by for a walk and I didn't find any information or building explanations like other universities!

A vast campus with a pretty, well-maintained quad area at the fore. Conveniently located right next to Belmont for some social mixing.

This is a fantastic school. The top tier fraternity, Theta Tau, throws incredible parties.
